Student Profile

James O’Donnell

I studied a Bachelor of Arts as well as several business and IT subjects, as I knew the mix would benefit me one day.

UQ gave me a lot of options and was a very nice place to study, hang out with friends, meet new people and attend loads of events.

The staff and support were great! The campus is a really relaxed place and the facilities are excellent. What else do you need?

After graduating, I created my own Australian–Chinese Business Consultancy Group for companies that want to import or export with China. Everything I studied at UQ helped me to develop my whole company.
